Remerowski Corporation Inc. asks you to estimate the cost to purchase a new piece of production equipment. The company purchased

this same type of equipment in the past for $10,000. The original equipment had a capacity of 2000 units, while the new equipment has a capacity of 1000 units. The power-sizing exponent for this type of equipment is 0.28. In addition, the cost index for this type of equipment was 126 when the original unit was purchased and is now 160. Estimate the cost to purchase the new piece.

Answer:

$10,458.30

Explanation:

For computing the cost of new piece first we have to find out the capacity of 1,000 units which is shown below:

Cost of equipment having capacity of 1000 units

= (New equipment capacity ÷ original capacity equipment)^power-sizing exponent for this type of equipment × past purchase

= (1000 ÷ 2000)^0.28 × $10,000

= $8,235.91

Now

Cost of new equipment today is

= Cost of new equipment × (Current cost index ÷ Old cost index)

= $8,235 × (160 ÷ 126)

= $10,458.30

Explanation:

Collection of account receivable will increase the cash and decrease the account receivable both of these are current asset.

B.

Writer off account receivable will reduce the account receivable balance which is a current asset and increase the expenses which ultimately reduce the retained earnings.

C.

It will decrease the current liabilities and increase long term liability

D.

It will increase the inventory as current asset and account payable as current liabilities.

E.

It will decrease the total stockholders equity as a contra equity account of dividend and increase the current liabilities as Dividend payable.

F.

It will increase the cash / account receivable more than the decrease in inventory value.

G.

Stock dividend will have no net impact on stockholders equity. Because it will increase the common stock and add-in-capital excess of par accounts and decrease the retained earning accounts all of these are equity accounts.

H.

It will decrease account payable as current liabilities and cash as current assets.

I.

Cash will increase the current assets and Sale of asset decrease the net fixed asset value. Loss will decrease the retained earning in the form of net income value.

Assume the current Treasury yield curve shows that the spot rates for six​ months, one​ year, and one and a half years are 1 %1%
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

present value of bond = $1042.96

Explanation:

given data

spot rates for six​ months = 1%

spot rates for one and = 1.1%​

spot rates for one and half years = 1.3%​

price = $1000

coupon bond = 4.25%

time = 6 month

solution

we get here first price on bond paid that is

coupon paid = $1000 × 4.25 × 0.5   = $21.25

we get here present value of 6 month and 1 year and 1 and half  year

present value  =   \frac{coupon\ payment }{(1+\frac{spot \ rate}{2})^t}     ..............1

present value of 6 month = \frac{21.25}{(1+\frac{0.1}{2})^1}    = 20.23

present value of 1 year = \frac{21.25}{(1+\frac{0.011}{2})^2}   = 21.01  

present value of 1 year and half year = \frac{21.25}{(1+\frac{0.013}{2})^2}   =  20.97

and

now we get present value of par value in 1 and half year

present value of par value in 1 and half year = \frac{par\ value}{(1+\frac{spot rate}{2})^3}  

present value of par value in 1 and half year = \frac{1000}{(1+\frac{0.013}{2})^3}

present value of par value in 1 and half year = 980.75

so

present value of bond will be as

present value of bond = 20.23 + 21.01 + 20.97 + 980.75

present value of bond = $1042.96

The _____ takes into consideration both the direct and indirect global warming effects of refrigerants.
dusya [7]
<span>The total equivalent warming impact (TEWI) takes into consideration both the direct and indirect global warming effects of refrigerants. In addition to the direct impact of the refrigerant (which is conveniently estimated by GWP), any system or process, which requires energy input, indirectly affects the environment. This impact is originated from CO2 emissions from the energy production processes. TEWI can be calculated using the equation below: TEWI = direct emissions + indirect emissions = (GWP×L×N)+(Ea×β×n), where L – annual leakage rate in the system, kg (3% of refrigerant charge annually), N – life of the system, years (15 years), n – system running time, years (based on weather data, 4910 hours), Ea – energy consumption, kWh per year (modelled for each refrigerant), β – carbon dioxide emission factor, CO2-eq. emissions per kWh (165 g CO2/kWh).</span>

A new accounting firm is created with a mechanistic and centralized structure. Personnel from which of the following countries w
Lunna [17]

Canada will be least comfortable with this type of a structure.

Explanation:

An organizational system which is based on a hierarchical, structured network, is also called a bureaucratic structure. The layout of the system is best suited for companies operating in a safe and unique climate. Generally, a mechanistic system is easy to manage. When a business operates in a stable environment, it never needs to be changed.

Authority represents a well-defined hierarchy of mechanistic organisations, with top managers taking the majority of decisions. Since the world is relatively stable, there is no need for complicated decision-making procedures spanning many parties. Subordinates should obey and not challenge their reasoning in the course of management. Unlike actions, contact often flows via or from the top down hierarchical paths.

While eating at Alex’s "Pizza by the Slice" restaurant, Clara experiences diminishing marginal utility. She received 10 utils fr
klemol [59]

Answer:

Alex may have to lower the price to convince Clara to buy a second slice.

Explanation:

Marginal utility is an economic concept that says that a consumer recieves more marginal utility in the first consumption of a good or services than in the second and the subsequents. In fact with each consumption the marginal utility reduces, this effect is known as diminishing marginal utility.

One of the the methods to reduce the effects of the diminishing marginal utility is to reduces prices. As the utility of a product decreases as its consumption increases, consumers are willing to pay smaller amount of money for more of the product.
